This is the absurdity of this bill. I could publicly say:
"Homosexuals are depraved people" and I could and should be fired by my employer.
But publicly saying:
"Hell awaits homosexuals" (such as Folau did) or "Homosexuals should be put to death for their sins" and if my employer fires me I can sue for, get this, religious discrimination.
It is a license to hate and discriminate against a minority group when the source of this hate are the very people being protected. You have to be brain-dead to think that this bill serves enough of a public interest to get enacted. No 'brain-dead' is the wrong word. You have to be so indoctrinated in your little way of life that you cannot empathetically see the psychological damage to other human beings that these actions can create.
What public interest is serviced by people being able to openly discriminate against a minority group in society based on thoughts in their heads? It's asinine. It's beyond callous.
Think of the damage that this bill could have on children who are unsure of their sexuality and forced to go to religious schools. The word for all of this is evil.
